I use the split door design with great results. This design can even be made to be collapsible. I think an overall angle of your door would be better at being nearer 45 degrees. This would give more room for m'rats to get up into the death bite space and increased angle on a unreinforced door with prevent push outs from XL m'rats and larger mink, IMO. If you really want a door that steep bend over one extra row on each side or attach a "U" bent heavy wire to strengthen them.
I've learned enough thru the years to now know that I don't know enough. KNOWLEDGE IS FREEDOM.

I agree with Drake. I would get the door at more of an angle but I REALLY like the bite space above. Genius.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Thanks for the input, I’ve never tried colony traps before so any advice is welcomed.

Has the grocery store started missing their carts yet?
